Chereads / Dominance of Evil Master / Chapter 17 - The Aftermath of Power!

Chapter 17 - The Aftermath of Power!

The dust was still settling in the aftermath of my **heroic** intervention. The once-thriving party had turned into a **chaotic battlefield**, but now, an eerie silence hung in the air.

All eyes were on me.

The warriors, who had once been engaged in fierce combat, now stood frozen, staring at the **four-year-old boy** who had effortlessly stopped their battle with a single move of his hand.

The **Fang Family**, known for their pride in their swordsmanship, was too shocked to even draw another blade. The **Lei Clan**, whose lightning techniques were supposed to be unmatched, stood at a standstill. The **Zhou Elders**, who prided themselves on their defensive skills, had never expected an attack like this.

**All of them** had seen the power I possessed.

### **The System Speaks**

For the first time since I woke up in this world, I felt the **Evil System's presence** fully.

A voice echoed in my mind—one that felt **strangely familiar** yet distant.

"Host, you have **successfully** stopped a battle between the **greatest martial families** of Shun County. A monster gave birth to a monster."

I couldn't help but chuckle. It felt so fitting. **A monster gave birth to a monster**.

But that wasn't all. The **Evil System** continued speaking.

"Host, for this remarkable act, you will be rewarded with **2 Evil Points**. This will be added to your previous points."

I could feel the points materialize in my **status window**. The system had **never given me more than 1 point**, so this was a first.

---

### **Status Window Update**

**Name:** Luo Zin

**Age:** 4 years

**Strength:** 7

**Agility:** 3

**Luck:** 8

**Evil Points:** 2.01

---

I stared at the number, feeling a strange sense of **satisfaction**. It might not be much, but this was a **beginning**. I was **finally starting** to break free from the restrictions that had held me back.

---

### **The Families React**

As the warriors slowly regained their composure, I could see the **fear** in their eyes.

But there was something else too…

**Respect.**

The **Fang Patriarch** was the first to speak. "The **9th Young Master** is no mere child. You have our respect, Lord Zin."

The **Lei Clan's** head nodded slowly, acknowledging my power. "The lightning of the Lei Clan was no match for the **earth-shattering strength** of Luo Zin."

The **Zhou Elder** merely grunted, his eyes never leaving me. He didn't speak, but his actions spoke louder than words. He didn't try to **attack me**, nor did he challenge my strength.

And the **Bai Merchants**? They were already **calculating** how to turn this into an **opportunity.**

---

### **The Power of Earth: Stage 1**

I glanced down at my hand, still trembling slightly from the **earth-shattering** strike I had just executed.

I could feel the **earth beneath my feet**, resonating with the energy I had released. The **Stage 1 Earth Shattering Hand** had not only destroyed the ground, but it had **shocked everyone in the vicinity**—even my **father**, who was still watching from the side with a proud smile on his face.

He didn't speak, but the look in his eyes told me everything.

If anything, he was more than pleased.

---

### **The Monster Within Me**

I felt the system's words resonate deep within me. **A monster gave birth to a monster.**

At that moment, I realized that this world, with all its **cultivation** and **schemes**, was no different from the one I had once ruled over in the shadows.

I was a **monster**, and I had just shown the world what it meant to cross me.

The **bitter reality** of life hit me again. Those who were **weak** were mere **tools** in the game of power. And those who were **strong**—like me—had the power to **reshape the world.**

I knew now that my path would never be the same.

---

### **The Birth of a Legend**

As the families took their leave, the whispers grew louder.

- "Who would have thought a **child** could possess such power?"

- "The **9th Young Master** is different from the rest."

- "This power… it's beyond the reach of mere mortals."

I stood there, in the middle of it all, my hand still glowing with the faint traces of earth energy.

**I had taken the first step.**

From this day forward, I would make sure no one ever forgot my name.

---

### **Ending Hook**

But the true challenge was just beginning.

As I stepped away from the battlefield, I couldn't help but smile. The **families** had seen my power, but it wasn't just their **respect** I wanted.

I wanted them to **fear** me.

And I was just getting started.
